Local Governments; violation of the prohibition on immigration sanctuary policies; waive sovereign and governmental immunities
House Withdrawn, Recommitted
Summary
The bill orders local custodial authorities to comply with any immigration detainer request, except when the facility is full and the person is only charged with a misdemeanor. In that situation, the detainee may be held no longer than 90 days after the last federal contact. It is intended to balance cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and limits on prolonged detention for low‑level offenses.
